A lightweight smiley cursor with "winks" on click
Overview
What it is
I built Wink Cursor to bring joyful micro-interactions on click to everyday UI. It's a tiny React component that replaces your cursor with a playful emoji that winks when users click 😉 ✨ Why ? Most apps feel serious & transactional. A little delight goes a long way, especially in onboarding, landing pages, and creative projects. 🧩 What you get • lightweight & customizable • smooth animation • works across your app • super easy install • zero design effort 🎨
Intent
I need it when
Enhance user experience with interactive cursor effects
The package provides pre-built cursor manipulation capabilities that developers can integrate to create engaging, branded cursor interactions that improve visual feedback
Add custom cursor styling and animations to web applications
wink-cursor is an npm package that enables developers to implement custom cursor behavior and visual effects in JavaScript-based web projects without building cursor logic from scratch
Maintain consistent cursor behavior across multiple web projects
As a published npm package, wink-cursor can be installed across multiple projects, ensuring standardized cursor implementation and simplifying maintenance through centralized updates
Drop
Not a fit when
- User requires commercial support or SLA guarantees for production systems
- Project needs proprietary cursor behavior not achievable through open-source customization
- Team lacks JavaScript/Node.js expertise to integrate or troubleshoot npm packages
- Application requires cursor functionality in non-web environments (native desktop or mobile apps)
- User needs enterprise licensing or legal indemnification for cursor library usage
